Chicken nuggets are a classic American fast-food snack Which has spawned countless variations. This recipe is based on modern-day chicken nuggets which are made from cuts of whole breast meat.
1. In a bowl, combine the plain flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the egg and milk.
2. Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breast fillet until thin. Use scissors to cut the chicken into small bite-sized pieces.
3. Keeping one hand dry, dip the chicken pieces first into the seasoned flour, then into the egg and milk mixture, and finally into the seasoned flour once again.
4. Leave to rest for a few minutes and repeat the process again if desired for a thicker coating.
5. Fry the chicken nuggets in hot oil on a medium heat for around 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and drain off any excess oil.
6. Arrange the nuggets on a plate or in a serving tub and serve with a selection of dips.
